Publisher's Synopsis
Constantly tired? Depressed? Puffy eyes? Making mistakes & missing deadlines at work?Science agrees that going to bed and waking up at the same time every day is one of the best things you can do for your sleep and health in general. But modern living features some of the most compelling temptations in the form of digital entertainment. If it's not Social Media that's keeping you up at night with endless streams of Snapchat stories, it's a binge watching marathon of a Netflix series that has you hooked and unable to go to bed. If waking up early and feeling fresh sounds like a dream to you, then continue reading. You cannot be an early riser and a bedtime procrastinator at the same time.Insomnia and bedtime procrastination are not the same thing but are closely interrelated. There aren't enough practical solutions. The most common approach to fixing sleep problems is to promote medication use among sufferers. But sleep medication can only address part of the problem and has the potential to create substance abuse tendencies. Most of you know that sleep is essential to your health and well being and yet its the first daily activity to be shortened if work or entertainment captures your attention close to designated bedtime. Until medical science comes up with a way to eliminate our need to sleep completely (which is unlikely to happen in our lifetime), humans will have to come up with ways to allow for sufficient quality sleep in balance with the rest of their day. Humans are largely designed for around 16 hours of awake time. The quality and regularity of your sleep will ultimately determine the quality of those 16 hours awake. Everything from hormonal levels like Testosterone & Estrogen production to Brain fog & Neurogenesis will be determined by the quality of your sleep.You might have everything in place to conquer life and beat the challenges that you face everyday - a solid plan, smart goals and drive to succeed but if you're not getting enough rest, the best plans are bound to fail. This book is for those adults who deal with daytime sleepiness on a daily basis. Sleep requirements vary among humans but if you are a chronic bedtime procrastinator, you will most likely not be getting a sufficient amount of sleep.A persistent tendency to postpone bedtimes with a consistently shifting sleep cycle commonly leads to crippling insomnia, preventing sufferers from leading a satisfying life. A common pattern seen in people with regular jobs involves partying late into the night on Friday nights through the weekend with a sudden shift in bed times as the following Monday approaches. The equivalent 'jet lag' like effect wreaks havoc on an individual's mind, body, hormones and well being. Bedtime procrastination Cure is the first attempt at providing concrete techniques to resolve a life long sleeping problem.Bedtime Procrastination Cure attempts to suggest completely new and unique approaches to fixing an errant sleep pattern. This book features:
- Beating binge watching addictions & temptations to keep you from sleep
- Techniques to 'nudge' your sleep cycle back into shape
